HATTER
Speaking of candidates and
their’ chances for nomination in
I Saturday’s primary, and their
I qualifications for office, CC
1 would not forget the importance
I of the candidates for Freestone
I county offices, all good men and
I true, but he would call attention
I to the qualifications and deserv-
ling ability of our good friend,
land friend of the Chronicle’s
18,620 readers in eleven communi-
l ties, Judge Ballard W. George,
Jof the Tenth Court of Civil Ap-
|l„-als of Waco. To know Judge
George is to love him and appre-
ciate his value ah a jurist. Inci-
dentally, he has three ads in this
Issue of the Chronicle calling the
attention of the voters to his
Lorthiness: One from the Judge
himself, one from local railroad
Employes who are supporting him
fcolidly, and another from the
Freestone County Bar Associa-
tion endorsing him for the office,
fcuch recommendations do not
iome with the wind, neither are
■hey acquired in a day, but by
Preparation and long experience
[efore a discerning citizenship.

Ls campaign. The Judge has

BOB CALVERT
Bob Calvert Spoke
To Good Crowd In
Teague Tuesday
Robert W. Calvert of Hill
County, candidate for the office
of Attorney ’ General of Texas,
speaking here in the interest of
his candidacy Tuesday morning,
declared that hb was the only
man in the race for the office
who had made a record of friend-
ship toward the aged people. He
further stated that “no man
ought to be Attorney General
who had been on the corporate
payrolls. Personally," he said, al
haven’t been getting that kind of
money as fees or retainers, and
they haven’t been spending it on
my campaign.”
Calvert was reared in the State
Orphans’ Home at Corsicana,
graduated from the University of
Texas, where he worked his way
through school and is at»present
practicing law at Hillsboro. He
was elected to the House of Rep-
resentatives in 1932 from Hill
and Navarro counties, re-elected
in 1934 and 1936 without opposi-
tion, and was unanimously elect-
ed Speaker of the House in
January, 1937.
B. & P. W. Club
Holds Regular
Session Monday
The Business and Professional
Women’s Club held their regular
meeting Monday evening in the
Public Library Building, with
their new president, Hazel
Stokes, presiding.
The new year’s program was
discussed and a committee with
Miss Ellen Victery as chairman,
Mrs. Pearl Perry and Mrs. ir-
ginia Wolfe, was appointed to
compile the new year’s program,
following the theme “My Busi-
ness and Yours,” with the object-
ive to understand woman’s place
in the world. Our purpose as a
national federation is to elevate
the standards *of women in busi-
ness and the professions; to pro-
mote their interests; to bring
about a spirit of co-operation
within the federation and to ex-
tend opportunities to business and
professional women through edu-
cation along industrial, scientific
and vocational lines. The Study
of “My Business and Yours” is
not concerned alone with the
place of woman in relation to
man, but with woman’s contribu-
tion to society and the common
welfare.
A motion-was carried that the
clubb, be disbanded during the
month of August, to give the
committee time to have the new
year books completed and the
new year’s program to begin with
the first meeting in September,
which will be Sept. 5, at which
time we will be guests of Mrs.
Fannie L. Jordan and Mrs. Pearl
Perry.
Mrs. Hugh Sims, the librarian,
met with the club and asked per-
mission to change the hours of
opening the library on the second
and fourth Mondays during the
next two months to 2:30 to 6:30
in the afternoon, in order to give
working girls time to procure
books.

Fight on Malaria
Is Resumed In
Freestone Conuty
The fight on malaria in this
section was resumed this week
with the return of Miss Addie
Alexander, itenerant nurse of .the
State Department of Health, who
has been on a two weeks vaca-
tion. Miss Alexander arrived in
Freestone county last month to
assist Dr. W. N. Sneed’ County
Health Officer, in making the
survey. At this time 249 mala-
ria blood specimens have been
taken and 61 pnsitivp malaria
carriers found.
The survey is being ljiade in
the following manner: The nurse
obtains from the local doctor the
names of patients they have
treated for malaria, and visits
the home, making the test of the
entire family or community where
there has been a case reported.
The communities of Fairfield,
Stewards Mill, Teague, Donie,
Freestone, Dew and Turlington
have been visited. Other com-
munities ewill be visited in the
near future.
The tests are being made with-
out cost to, the patients. The
family physician is notified of
menace* to themselves as well sb
to those whom they contact, and
the carriers are then urged to go
to their physician for treatment.
All who have had malaria recent-
ly are also urged to go to theif
physician as the nurse is required
by the State Health Department
to make tests only where doctors
recommend.
Dr. Sneed, who as county health
officer, is directing the survey,
states that he is well pleased
with the county organization of
both the. people and doctors in
carrying on the work, and the in-
terest they have taken, in ridding
the county of malaria.
McCraw Leading
In Notary Public
Poll of Voters
.- Attorney General William Mc-
Craw held a substantial lead for
Governor in the notary public
poll being conducted by R. B.
Humphrey,- Dallas attorney, in the
third report made Thursday.
It was the Humphrey poll
which alone forecast the Allred
first primary victory in 1930, ,
showing 99 pel cent accuracy.
Humphrey reported that of
2,700 votes cast by notaries puh-
lic, in more than 100 counties and
600 cities, McCraw received 862,
W. Lee O’Daniel got 795, Thomp-
son took 656, Tom Hunter 269,
Karl Crowley 63, and 61 votes
were scattered among the rest of
the candidates.
Humphrey pointed out that the
figures of his poll are not in-
creased by multiplication as many
are, but actually show how rep-
resentative men in each commun-
ity will vote. He said the notaries
polled attempted to learn the at-
titude of their communities be-
fore casting their votes.

Communities With Educational
and Religions Institutions and
Conveniences Not Accidents
When you find high class pub-
lic schools located accessible to
your children; when you find a
community of fine churches; when
you find all the conveniences of
modem life at your elbow, just
stop and think that this is the
result of successful home tradff,
which has made it possible to
create a splendid center of civili-
zation in your locality. If every-
body had decided to trade away
from home these things could not
exist in your neighborhood. They
might exist in some remote city
where your welfare is never con-
sidered, and you might as well be
in the wilds of Africa, for tfll
those who had profited by the
money you sent would care.
A safe and sound bank, a live
mercantile establishment, or an
industry that is commanding bus-
iness in the community is a great
asset to every person in that com-
munity. It is the thing that de-
cides the stability of the town,
and determines the growth of the
place and its desirability as a
place in which to live. No person
cares to locate in a town where
business is uncertain and shaky,
or where conditions are so uncer-
tain that investments in real
estate would be a doubtful ven>
ture. And all of these conditions
depend in the final analysis on
what you are doing with your
money and whether the town is
receiving the business to which it
is entitled.
In home trade, however, you
are dealing with neighbors and
friends. You are dealing with
those who sorrow with you when
are dealing with friends ready
to chip in and help as far as
their means will allow them when
you and your family are in dis-
tress; you are dealing with those
who are your joint partners m
the joys and sorrows of your
home community. Disaster to you
is disaster to them.
The welfare of the people of a
community is inseparable. Selfish-
ness and shortsightedness exist
but it’s the liberal broadminded
spirit of live and let live that
makes your home community an
abiding place worth While.
Very few of the country towns
of the state offer better business
opportunities than they did twen-
ty years ago, and 'in many of
them the prospects are not so
promising as they were at that
time. Onerffeson for this, per-
haps, is the growing tendency
to patronize vmail order houses
and stores located in the larger
centers. It is worth nothing that
farm values depend in some meas-
ure, at least, on the proximity of
the property to a good town.
Eliminate the country town, and
land values surely will drop. We
believe the small town is needed,
and that fanners and townspeople
are exceedingly shortsighted
when they fail to patronize home
merchants and their home insti
tutions. __

business men who are interested
in getting the facts of the results
of home trade before the people
who are interested in the welfare
of their community.

GERALD C. MANN
Gerald C. Mann
Spoke To a Large
Crowd Here Thrsday
Flaying what he termed the
“political racketeer” and pledging
the relentless prosecution of all
those who violate the laws, Ger-
ald C. Mann, dynamic Dallas at-
torney and former Secretary of
State, brought his vigorous cam-
paign for Attorney General here
in a speech before a large crowd
last Thursday.'
Remembered for his successful
fight against the fraudulent stock
broker and racketeer while Sec-
retary of State when he exposed
gangs of operators selling worth-
less securities in the State and
subsequently wrote and secured
passage of the present Texas
Securities Act, Mann here declar-
ed “the most insidious, the one
most damaging to our state today
is the political racket.”
“The political racketeer is the
influence-peddling lawyer, the self-
styled influential politician, the
fixer,” Mann added. When 1 am
your Attorney General those
schemers shall no longer sit en-
throned. I want to make our
capitol building a symbol of jus-
tice where any man may go and
get what he is justly entitled to
without the air of any racketeer."
Emphasizing law enforcement,
the candidate declared he would
be relentless in the prosecution of
all law violators whether the law
breaker is the largest corporation
or smallest citizen.
“On the other hand, I shall not
prosecute a man or set of men
for the purpose of gaining public
favor nor shall I fail to prosecute
for fear of losing it. I’d rather
be a real Attorney General for
only two years than be a vacil-
lating, shifting politician. I’d
rather be a one-termer than a
two-timer.”
Mann is on a strenuous state-
wide speaking tour, addressing
crowds in six to twelve towns
daily. His Thursday’s program
included appearances at Coolidge,
Wortham, Mexia, Fairfield, Rei-
sel, and Buffalo.

To the Officers and Members ol

of C. and J. of A.:
Greetings: At a regular meet-
ing of Local Union No. 1823, I
was instructed to inform all Car-
penter’s Local Unions of the
State as to the labor record of
one W. Lee O’Daniel, a candidate
for Governor of Texas.
Words cannot express to the
fullest extent how unfair to labor
this man, W. Lee O’Daniel, really
is. For several years, he was
general manager of the Burrus
Milling Company in this city,
during which time former busi-.
ness agents have tried to deal
with him but had no success.
About four years ago Mr. O’Dan-
iel constructed a new building
for the Burrus Milling Company

COLORADO RIVER
AUTHORITY ASSURES
CHEAP POWER IN TETAS
Washington, July 9.—Approval
by President Roosevelt of a PWA
allotment of $7,000,000 assures
distribution of cheap electric. pow-
er produced by the Colorado River
Authority, Texas, and its delivery
to the city gates of a large num-
ber of Texas cities and towns.
In this allotment is included
5,000,000 for building transmission
lines from the generating plants
at Buchanan, Marshall Ford, Inks
and Tom Miller dams. The re-
maining $2,000,000 is for com-
pleting th5 jxwer-generating fac-
ilities it Marshall Fort).
Announcement of the allotment
was made by Representative Lyn-
don Johnson of the Austin dis-
trict, who left for Texas Friday
night, after details of the allot
ment had. been completed.
Negotiations for Power
Sale of the power is at rates
similar to that of the Tennessee
Valley Authority, and while Aus-
tin is the only city that has en-
tered contract for current, Mr
Johnson said that at least fifty-
cities and towns within easy
range of the plants were negoti
ating for power. Now that the
cost of transmission is to be paid
by the Federal Government, serv-
ing a radious of 200 miles of the
dams, Mr. Johnson said that these
negotiations would be completed
since actual construction of the
lines had been delayed pending
Federal action.
“The authority will furnish
bulk power for as much as 50
per cent of prevailing rates,"
Mr. Johnson pointed out, “and
we anticipate that within a very
short time these benefits will be
enjbyed by a large number of
communities in Central, Eastern
and South Texas.”
At the same time Secretary of
the Interior Ickes, public works
administrator, gave the go-ahead
signal for all but twenty-one of
the power projects which it has
been holding up, at the same time
preparing allocations to the
amount of about $20,000,000 for
sixty Federal and non-Fedeial
projects.
According to the honor policy
announced in the Senate, Mr.
Ickes said allotments would be
made to municipalities for power
projects only after they had sat-
isfied the administrator they had
been unable to acquire upon rea-
sonable terms facilities of exist-
ing private utilities which might
otherwise be on competition.
The PWA announcement went
further in determining what con-
stituted competition and narrow-
ing application of the fair and
reasonable offer. The PWA is
to be the final judge of the good
faith in the municipal offer for a
private utility’s facilities.—Dallas

This Week in
Washington
.7
/ Washington, July 20.—The
death of Supreme Court Justice
Benjamin Nathan Cardozo, who
had been ill since last December,
will make no change in the line-
up bf the Supreme Bench, as be-
tween- liberal and conservative
approaches to Constitutional
questions coming before the higp
courc.
Justice Cardozo, who was ap-
pointed to the court by President
Hoover a few months before
President Roosevelt took office,
was known throughout his dis-
tinguished judicial career as a
man of broad liberal views, who
held that the courts should l&eep
pace with the changing economic
and social conditions and be ex-
tremely tolerant of legislative ef-
forts to adjust the laws to new
conditions.
His opinions as a Justice of the
Supreme Court followed that line
of judicial reasoning, and he was
counted as one of the Court
group who could be depended
upon to uphold any properly
drawn laws designed to carry out
the Administration’s economic
and social policies.
Jn picking his successor the
President will, naturally, select a
jurist whose mind runs in simi-
lar channels. There will be no
such change in the Court’s per-
sonnel as occurred after the resig-
nation of Justice Van Devanter
and Southerland, ultra conserva-
tives, who were succeeded by the
liberal Justices Black and Reed.
The general belief held here,
in the absence of any intimation
from the President, is that Felix
Frankfurter of the Harvard Law
School is the most likely choice
for the vacancy. Prof. Frank-
furter, although holding no offi-
cial position in the government,
has spent a great deal of time in
Washington in the last five yeara
acting in an advisory capacity on
legal matters, as he did in
President Wilson’s administration
when' he was a very young man.
President “Political” Tour
Among lawyers he is regarded
as an able exponent of constitu-
tional law. He has written sev-
eral books on the Constitution
and the Supreme Court, and his
appointment to succeed Justice
Cardozo would meet with little if
any opposition from the- bar.
The political pot is boiling with
great heat and giving off much
steam which somewhat clouds the
outlook. For the moment interest
centers on the acts and words of
Mr. Roosevelt in his capacity of
leader of the Democratic party,
in going into states where party
primaries and pending and advo-
cating the nomination of “liberal”
candidates for the Senate who
will go along with him.
Senators Barkley of Kentucky,
Bulkley of Ohio, Thomas of
Oklahoma and Mrs. Hattie Cara-
way Senator from Arkansas
were among the ones to whom
Mr. Roosevelt gave personal en-
dorsement in speeches in their
home states on his transcontinen
tal tour.
The threat to eliminate Sena-
tor Van Nuys of Indiana, as pun-
ishment for opposition to many
New Deal measures, did not ac-
complish its purpose. The Indiana
Democratic Party organization,
facing Mr. Van Nuys’ threat to
run as an independent candidate,
if he were not renominated, and
realizing that such a course
would split the Democratic vote
and result in the election of a
Republican Senator, handed him
the nomination on a silver platter.
New York Political Picture
In New York a dispute which
emphasizes the split between
President Roosevelt and his suc-
cessor, Governor Herbert Lehman,
was started when Gov. Lehman
announced that his administra-
tion had got the state financ
“out of the red," cleared off
deficit of nearly 100 millic
which the Roosevelt Governmental
administration had left
and put a surplus of
